Have You Seen Gordon? por Adam Jay Epstein
The narrator wants this to be a traditional seek and find book, but well, Gordon just wants to stand out. His replacement is rather shy and doesn't really want to stick around and be found. This one starts silly and playful, and then ends with all the classic seek-and-find challenge you are looking for in a seek and find book.
It's time to find Gordon!
This is a search-and-find book, which offers bright and detailed illustrations with tons of looking fun. The scenes range from amusement parks to city streets, and offer all sorts of things to gaze at and find. While the first part of the book starts with simply finding Gordon (a cute, little monster-like character), it soon spreads into more.
I found it wonderful that this book grows and spices things up on the search end. While it starts with finding just Gordon in the various, packed places, it then shifts gears and has kids looking for more. Later, it ups the game again and describes different things which need to be found. This adds a bit more variety and keeps the entire thing from becoming boring. Plus, the illustrations carry lots of other surprises to keep readers coming back for more.
And there are words. Just a few short phrases introduce the pages and give beginning readers something to discover on that end...or it works to make this into a bit of a read-aloud. Plus, the ending wraps it up with warmth and a sense of friendship. This was really nice, since it made it into more than just a search book
I enjoyed reading and gazing at this one and can imagine kids will do the same...over and over again.
I received an ARC and really enjoyed searching through the illustrations.… (más)

Still an enjoyable series to read. I wish they'd focus a bit less on Aldwyn and a bit more on the other Familiars and the Loyals.
It's kind of annoying that they didn't finish this series. They left it open with a lot unsolved. I don't think another book is coming out since this was published in 2014. Still, I am glad I read The Familiars, I just wish I was younger.
